Codex additions below scene descriptions

This is already planned, but only after I figure out how to make them editable as well.

spaceemotion I'd say the same way you made other codex records editable while in "Write" - you just click on it and it goes to Codex.
spaceemotion
Wenge Dingo i kind of meant that on a technical side. the additions are available in the matrix now below scenes already; but just like in the codex entry panel you cannot edit them there. you have to go to the actual scene text itself

spaceemotion I understand they are shown when I choose the related codex entry as a column header in Matrix. But can you show them also when the codex entry is selected in the scene as a label, even if it's not the header?

One more thing - why the scene description is sometimes there and sometimes isn't? Is it possible to remove the scene description from here or only add a scene? Look at the screenshot.

Wenge Dingo If the addition is there, but the scene isn't then the entry hasn't been assigned to that scene (either by mention or by hand). You can add additions into scenes without having to create a link between that entry and the scene (which would influence the AI generation).
Regarding your first question: Can you show me a screenshot for that as well? I don't think I quite understand..

spaceemotion The first picture — addition (MOD) is there, but it doesn't show if the column MOD is not added. The second picture — - the column MOD is added, and the addition is shown. I'd like it to be visible in the first case, too, because I added MOD label to the scene.

Wenge Dingo The first image is a matrix view for POVs. that might be different? 🤔

Also, the custom selection in the Matrix won't let you choose POVs - if I choose characters, it just shows everything where the characters appear - not only if they are POVs.

spaceemotion No, it won't show in other selections either. Only when the codex entry is chosen as a column.

I think if you choose a particular codex entry as a label for the scene, it should show additions for that entry - it only makes sense. If the codex label is not selected, it shouldn't show them, unless the column is shown.
To sum it up, show the addition if:
— the column for the linked codex entry is shown (irrespective of the label)
— the column is not shown, but the label of the linked codex entry is selected.
— both of the above.

One more thing - the addition should show the title (the codex entry it is related to). For example, if I have subplots as additions, I would like to see the subplot names over the additions. Labels are not enough, because I have no idea which entry is for which subplot.

The way it works now is the title is not shown, because the addition is only visible in the corresponding codex column. But that means the column has to be visible. I think it takes unnecessary space on the Matrix.

And since we have "add scene" button, we also need a "remove scene" button so we have complete control what's visible.
